#sorry to make it about The Children anon 💀 i know you were talking more about the poisonous assholes that ruin everything for everyone

[ofmermaidstories]

That particular shade of drama has grown so tedious. It’s been here, as well as other media platforms, for years. The inability to distinguish between fiction and reality in the younger generation is truly quite troubling. And also, don’t like something, don’t interact with it as you said. If one doesn’t like to eat cow shit, let’s say for example, the won’t eat it. Why can’t people do this with art?? Or even if they do, why can’t they view it with a modicum of open mindedness ? Maybe try to understand another point of view instead of dwelling in the poor lit, narrow halls they call a mind??

This useless debate has destroyed communities before and turned something pleasurable, writing, drawing, etc, into something dreadful for the artist.

omg right like, this is the problem! if we can’t find a way to let kids learn and play messily and safely (and by play i mean just dick around on the internet 💀) then they turn into judgemental little cops who’ve never learnt to trust others in a shared space and then they come in and actively ruin it! like i’ve seen great artists and writers just stop because they were being harassed by a handful of teenagers (or older tbh 💀) who should’ve just kept scrolling! and it’s devastating!!

and it’s like… this is a genuinely generational problem, with no quick fix. this is the end result of unrestricted and unmoderated internet access for kids who’s brains haven’t even absorbed the multiplication table yet. and not to get all boomer on main but things need to change! there’s no good old days we can trot them back to, because these are unprecedented times with unprecedented technology. we have to figure out a way to raise the next lot of readers/writers/artists/humans in a way that keeps them safe and teaches them that it’s okay to let others be safely unsafe. Give them the tools to protect themselves and then the attitudes that will allow them to shrug whatever they don’t like off!!! or at least go vent about it privately in a group chat. 💀

Ray. Couples costume. You and Arlecchino.

Hi Anon!! This is so random but I suppose Halloween is coming up. Wasn't 100% sure what you're talking about but I'm assuming you're asking what dressing up in matching costumes would be like with reader and arlecchino? Gonna assume this is like Halloween costumes, I apologize if I'm assuming wrong. Feel free to send me another ask to correct me. To be honest, I haven't like... gone out for Halloween in a really long time, or even dressed up. Last time I dressed up was probably before the double digits, but let's see what I could whip up.

Anyways. Let's say it's modern au 'cuz I can't see how this would apply in the Genshin world. You'd of course have to be the first one to bring up the idea, as it's something she is against. (The Trio managed to convince her to dress up one time when they were younger, and she vowed to never submit again. It'd be something stupid, like a fairy. 💀)

It'd take a whole lot of convincing for you to get Arlecchino to dress up with you. Prepare your puppy eyes, and maybe have the children with you, because she will never dress up willingly. You and the children would have to pester for weeks on end for her to give in (or you have to trade something if. If she's trading her dignity, you better give something of equal value). She also has to accept and tolerate the costume beforehand.

In terms of matching costume designs, (I'm so unoriginal but I had to google 'couple costume ideas for this'). She'd be fine with anything that isn't cutesy or silly. Those are her hard limits. She doesn't like any full blown suits/one pieces, so if you're expecting her to get into those inflatable dinosaur costumes, I'm sorry to say this, but you can't turn Arlecchino into Arledino (Laugh 🫥.) She probably won't want to pull off anything that takes too much effort/time, like dying her hair or needing a bunch of makeup. Nothing that will make her stand out too much either, and she doesn't want to be deal with the inconvenience of prancing around in heavy/dense layers of fabric.

I feel like some matching costume would be Slasher characters. Ghostface or Jason Voorhees are some she'll be acceptable to-- masked characters, so she doesn't have to face anyone she knows in if that were to happen.

I don't know how I could be this stupid, but vampires should have been the first thing that came to my mind. She's perfect for a vampire. I don't need to explain more.

king/queen or prince/princess costumes are also something she can tolerate, though steer away from any disney-esque costumes. Though she'd hate the costume, she would never pass up the opportunity to roleplay and treat you like the queen/princess you are <3.

Masquerade ball costumes are also fine, as long as they're not too gaudy. She appreciates that there are masks and she can tolerate wearing a suit.

Anyways, those are my thoughts. Let me know if you think otherwise or have any ideas. Feel free to send me other random asks, even if they're not related to Genshin or Arlecchino <3.

Thank for the ask, anon!

I'm okay on my side ! Hope you're doing well too ☺️ But yeah, this update awating is already making my emotions blow up. Like, you see the big roller-coster, you know it's going to be some big thing. And you feel like you're already up there.

But I'm also in denial for any more emotional damage coming up. (Silver fighting against Dawn brainrot breaking my heart-) ("I'm sorry. I now know you loved me very much. But neverless, you are now my father enemy. Bloodties don't matter that much for me. Because I will always be my father's son." 😭💀). So I'm in OT3 fluffy/angsty mode where I live in a cottage with my two handsome husbands and my baby Silver. In a peaceful time. Having funny shenanigans with the Draconia in-laws. And just chilling in a cute alternative version of the past we going to have more information about in 2 days.

Everything will be fine- I hope. But I'm gathering tissues. Just in case.

Hello 🦋 Anonie 💞💚🌻

Glad to hear you’re doing good, I’m going well; just antsy. But yes!! Your analogy is perfect. We know something big is going to come and we know it’s going to hurt, but we are powerless to it.

All the while, time is slowly passing by as we wait our demise 😂🫡

Kind of like the people on Sage island…okay okay, I’ll stop ajsjdkdn 🤣🤣

BUT I’M SHAKING YOU 🦋 ANONIE

“I'm sorry. I now know you loved me very much. But neverless, you are now my father enemy. Bloodties don't matter that much for me. Because I will always be my father's son."

Did you have to hurt me this way?? But ahhh the brain rot 🥹💞💞 It’s amazing.

If it’s any comfort 🦋 Anonie, I have several OT3 asks in my inbox that I will answer soon hopefully. And, knowing me, the new update is going to get my brain into overdrive. So more fanfics and more OT3 most likely ☺️💞💞 (and theories and in general screaming 🤣)

Gather all the tissues because we are going to need them 🦋 Anonie, there’s a reason why they look so angry and I can imagine whatever it is, we are not ready. Though I’m sure, Ortho will pop up at the end in a cliffhanger probably.

Here’s a small comfort fic, to soothe us before troubling times:

You gasped awake, breathing heavily.

Your vision unfocused, hands trembling.

“YN?”

A hand cupped your cheek, bringing your eyes to worried crimson.

It was difficult to breathe.

A forehead leaned against yours, “Shh. Try and copy how I breathe precious.”

You tried to follow along, eventually matching Lilia’s.

As you calmed down, you were brought back to your surroundings. You felt a hand gently rubbing your back as you slumped forward into Lilia. You could see Dawn’s concerned eyes through your blurred vision.

Dawn and Lilia murmured something above you before you felt a kiss placed upon your shoulder.

From the corner of your eye, you saw Dawn leave the room.

“Do you want to talk about it?”

“In a bit,” your voiced wavered.

Lilia tucked you closer into him.

You didn’t know when you dozed off, but the gentle shake from Dawn woke you.

“Drink this Love, it’ll help you sleep better.”

Warm milk and honey, the combination had you smiling.

Something the Lilia in the future loved to make for his boys. You could recall Lilia proclaiming in several of his stories about how this very drink would put the toughest and most stubborn children to sleep.

The memories of your dream came back. You closed your eyes before looking at your husbands. Their worried expressions had you spilling every detail you could remember.

By the end, you felt more tired than ever but more comforted as well.

Your husbands hugged you as they reassured you with their words.

“We’ll take Silver and Malleus from my sister’s tomorrow and have a picnic in the meadow. You’ll see first hand that your dreams are just that, dreams and nothing more.”

“You’re not allowed to cook, Lilia.”

“Hey! I can make simple sandwiches.”

“If you ever want our son back from your sister and Malleus, you’ll never utter those words in front of them.”

Their banter lulled you to sleep.

What better way to be loved then to be in the middle of two such loving souls?

Who cherished you and their family endlessly like the number of stars in the sky.

With them, you would know a True Happy Ending.

Am I implying something with the three of them home alone without Silver?? Maybe. Maybe not. Lolol ☺️💞

But also, I could have changed the whole atmosphere and turned it angsty/horrific with an added line or two but I didn’t.

Aren’t I gracious? 🤣🌺

[yonemurishiroku]

Can you talk more about Luke being a good parent,please❓ I've seen many hc's about him,but that one is new.

This ask is from Jan 19, I'm deeply sorry it took me so long to reply to this. 😭😭😭 Please know that it's nothing personal, anon. I'm just being a snail mail as usual. 💀🙈

Anyway, when I said that Luke could have been a good parent, I meant I could see, in him, the traits that I deemed necessary for parenting. It's hard to tell because frankly, even I can't comprehend my thoughts that well, but generally, it revolves around his kindness and charisma as a counselor.

It is canon that Luke Castellan, as a character, was loved widely amongst the campers, Percy included. And most of them were teenagers. I don't know about the others but I always find it hard to fully earn a teenager's liking, but Luke seemed to be doing it just fine, even earning himself clout.

Luke had worked as the head counselor of Cabin Eleven for quite a while, so I'd say he at least knew how to deal with the youngsters' common problems and did it well - something I know parents have to struggle with. Have you ever been the head of a group of rebellious ADHD dyslexic half-god gremlins because I'm pretty sure that's like. a nightmare. (not mentioning it's Hermes' spawns) Luke seems to know his way tho.

Luke is, with all respect (which is a lot), portrayed as a manipulative person.

Now, this really depends on how you see it, but I think it's quite a useful skill when it comes to dealing with children - those whose comprehension and emotional regulation skills are yet to develop fully and whose feelings are more often than not all over the place. It requires an ocean of effort to seriously educate a child - you need to guide them but not block their ways; you need to regulate them but not limit them, all the while your children don't even know what they want either bc their brains haven't been fully wired for that yet. It's a challenge. If it was Luke though, he seemed to know how to see through people's feelings and work his way through them - as shown by how he convinced Silena, for instance. To manipulate someone means you know how they work first, and Luke appears in my eyes as someone who can guide people's thoughts, make them willing without outright threatening - which is an invaluable skill bc your children wouldn't want to feel threatened now would they?

Of all people, I just feel like Luke is the first to know how to deal with a child's tantrum in the best way possible - without actually losing/succumbing to their childish requests. He's gentle. He's funny. He's easy to like. I think the children would adore him.

What I'm trying to say is that: I think Luke knows how to deal with children and teenagers and he does it well enough.

Furthermore, when I say kindness, I'm referring to the fact that Luke's rebellion is, well, a rebellion. He did it for the demigods like him - because he thought they needed to get away from their parents: the gods - and when he failed, he made Percy promise the same thing. It is kindness - at least, in my book: the love and compassion for other misfortunes, those so deep that it enables Luke to do many things beyond.

I have talked about this once - about how Luke's motivation for evil plans actually stems from his kindness and it's admirable - and I do think it's an essential trait for a parent. It's love, pal. He loves so much. He would do everything for that love.

The last one: I'd like to mention the neglection Luke felt from Hermes' absence. This is debatable still because systematically if you are hurt, you would either 1/want to do the same thing to others or 2/extremely hate to inflict the same on others. It depends a lot on yourself.

That is to say: Luke, with all his childhood devoid of fatherly affection and later motherly one too, may have the tendency to prevent a similar fate for his children/the younger ones - provided with the fact that he made Percy promise. If Luke had his chance, I can imagine he would try his best to ensure that the children don't feel the abandonment and loneliness he once experienced. He would go out of his way to provide them with love and welcome - be there when they need, protect them, let them know they're loved; all the things a parent can do for their children. Because Luke - more than anyone - understood how hurtful it was to not have that.

That's everything to it, I suppose. I intended to write a few things and I turned out like this. I'm desperate lolol hope this helps anw!!!!

[nerves-nebula]

I just saw from a post that you mentioned that your dad was Nigerian and I was just curious how you feel about being like Nigerian and if you actually feel like you're connected to the culture. Like you don't have to answer if you don't want to, it's just I was curious since I'm also Nigerian but I've never really left this godforsaken country(I say this both affectionately and with burning hostility)

Like did your dad ever like make an attempt to teach you your language or was he like my grandpa and just refuse to teach it to his kids😭

And if you've ever had Nigerian food what's your fave? (I dare you to say jollof rice🌚) mine is banga soup and white rice or ofada stew and white rice

Do you speak pigeon? Because if you do I'll definitely be speaking it to you in the anons from now on lol

And I totally agree about the beating being normalized in poc households😭. Your blog really helped me realize that my mom was kind of abusive (and I'm still kind of in denial about it) because over here it's so horrifying how normalized it is to beat your kids until they've turned black and blue.

I was talking to classmates and we were bonding over the fact our parents used to beat us with like wires, sticks, belts and stuff and how they overdid it alot of the time and made us scared shitless and one of them was literally telling me how she fell a glass cup and broke it and got some glass in her foot and she couldn't even tell her parents because she was too scared to get flogged so the babe performed surgery on her self with a DIRTY RUSTY razor at 10 yrs old💀.

And let me tell this convo wasn't even heavy, we were all laughing and joking about it and shit.

Then I asked them if they would ever beat their kids and these niggas said YESSS they were like if they never got beaten half to death as literal children they would have grown up to be bad ppl and I was floored like do you hear yourselves??? And when I said why beat your children like they're animals instead of treating them like little humans with developing minds that make mistakes and grow and these fools laughed at me and looked at me confused like I was speaking French to them😭 and I'm screaming jesus what a life😭😭😭😭

Only divine intervention can save Nigerians from this awful cycle of abuse(I'm not religious in any way). These goats need therapy😭😭😭😭

And have you heard the bs the government is pulling out of their asses over here with the money problem😭😭😭😭😭😭

Sorry if this is overwhelming, I just got really excited at the word Nigeria lol. I hate this stupid country and its stupid ppl so much but yet sometimes I'm filled with such overwhelming love for it and its stupid inhabitants. I'm the anon that went to that skating event and met a ton of queer ppl who respected my pronouns and stuff so these ppl are the only reason why I have hope for my dum dum country with it dum dum politicians

Sorry again for the rant😭😭😭😭

I just saw from a post that you mentioned that your dad was Nigerian and I was just curious how you feel about being like Nigerian and if you actually feel like you're connected to the culture.

ive never left America, so no. im sorry, i wish i was more connected to it a lot of the time but it just feels too late for that to me.

he never taught me his language either (Tiv) though he did speak it when he was around the house. but he wasnt around a lot. when i asked him why he didnt try to teach us he just shrugged like it wasn't a priority. he started staying in nigeria for most of the year only coming back for a few months every now and then so i probably wouldnt have picked it up even if he HAD tried.

I've never even called myself Nigerian, not because I don't want to be but because of the embarrassment of having to explain that yeah im Nigerian but... not really Nigerian. I wouldn't want to disappoint any REAL Nigerians by basically being raised as a white American kid and knowing nothing about Nigeria.

And if you've ever had Nigerian food what's your fave?

i've only ever had pounded yam and okra i think, it wasnt bad but it also apparently wasnt made properly. my mom would make it and my dad would be like "this isnt even real pounded yam what the hell is this" and then nothing would change the next time around haha. so i dont think i can say ive ever eaten Nigerian food, sorry. my oldest sister has tho, when she went to visit him. i hate spices though, they hurt too much, so i doubt I'd enjoy it. which i feel kinda bad about. but ive got a lot of issues about food, and being forced to eat food, so. yeah.

Do you speak pigeon? Because if you do I'll definitely be speaking it to you in the anons from now on lol

GOD I wish. i wish he'd taught us literally fucking anything.

now that most of us are adult-aged he's been asking us to come visit him in nigeria. he's clearly very lonely, but i dont want to be alone with him in a country where he controls everything about where i stay and what i do and what i eat (he doesnt understand my eating restrictions and it would be hellish to starve because of that)

two of my sisters have gone to visit him and it sounds like it was fucking AWFUL tbh. i'd go with them but not with him.

Then I asked them if they would ever beat their kids and these niggas said YESSS they were like if they never got beaten half to death as literal children they would have grown up to be bad ppl and I was floored like do you hear yourselves???

yeah this mindset is wild to me, cause if a kid is too young to understand why what they did is wrong then why are you beating them?? that wont help they literally don't understand?? and if they AREN'T too young to understand then explain it to them! People who beat their kids are just admitting they dont know how to solve problems or vent frustration without violence. And if they had control over the people around them, they would USE violence to force them to comply, but since they only have control over their kids they can only beat their kids.

Only divine intervention can save Nigerians from this awful cycle of abuse(I'm not religious in any way). These goats need therapy

my dad is the only Nigerian i really know, but from what I know about him this is very true. he's insanely traumatized from like, civil war stuff and his own shitty upbringing. but he doesn't really believe in mental health stuff so good luck telling him that!

And have you heard the bs the government is pulling out of their asses over here with the money problem

im not very caught up on the political situation over there, but from what my dads told me its not good. my dad is mostly interested in the education system though, its like his life's work and all he's ever wanted to was to be put in charge of it and get kids educated so they have opportunities like he did or something. idk. he thinks education is the key to making Nigeria better and i dont exactly disagree with his life mission but hey, I don't live there. what do i know.

he apparently helped get the current president elected in hopes that he'd be good, but it doesnt appear things are going well. Every time he'd come home when I was younger though, that was the main thing he talked about. Getting his guy elected.

he texted me a bit ago to say he'd met with the president multiple times and was feeling stressed out, but i dont wanna say more unless you end up tracking me or something haha. fun fact tho, he's apparently been almost assassinated at least twice. like maybe he's just super paranoid, but he KNOWS someone hired a guy to assassinate him at least once because that guy was his friend and came up to him one day like "yo watch out someone's trying to kill you lol" or something.

idk he told me that story when i was younger so maybe i have the details wrong.

I'm the anon that went to that skating event and met a ton of queer ppl who respected my pronouns and stuff so these ppl are the only reason why I have hope for my dum dum country with it dum dum politicians

ohh i remember you! what a coincidence haha.

[sehodreamsthoughts]

lmaoo thank u baby i am completely normal though dw (no i am not)

also i didn’t wanna like double text but in response to what u posted about on ur main blog.. i’m glad ur not going to be tolerating hate, it pains me to see when ppl get shit on when they don’t deserve it whatsoever.. i was going to say in one of my previous messages too that entitled asks or anon hate almost always rub me the wrong way that the person sending them are a minor and if not, well they still shouldn’t be reading fics because that’s not appropriate behaviour… ik we’re writing n talking about some wild stuff but still… have some class.

i’ve been wanting to start my blog for a while but ppl are just so weird and/or judgmental on here (or in general irl) and so it just always deters me when i see ppl misbehaving lol… but i think if i did receive hate i would go about it as u do. block, and delete because i don’t want stuff like that preserved on my blog.. i understanding shaming ppl for their inappropriate asks but i think i would personally just not wanna give ppl a platform. i believe ppl send asks like that for attention too or because they get off on conflict.. weirdass behaviour.

so, long story short i support u and i’m so sorry u have received any negative asks at all because u don’t deserve that and ppl are awful, but u seem like a strong, smart person but still, u shouldn’t have to deal with that and i’m sorry that you’ve had to.

- 🥟 anon

"Strong smart person" baby I don't know about that since I'm totally a crybaby but thank you 😭🩷

To be honest when I just started my blog I did answer a couple of hate asks but then I was pretty weird out by them, like okay you don't like it then just block me???? And I totally think the same, the people sending useless hate asks are definitely kids or or people that get off to conflict, but my time (everyone's) is so precious I simply started ignoring and deleting. I don't particularly feel hurt by those messages since I know what I do doesn't hurt anyone in real life, I put tw and I'm careful to not trigger anyone so I feel I do enough for them 🤷‍♀️, if they don't want to read they don't have to, and if they do is not my problem at all so 🫏🫏🫏

I never blocked that much unless I really dislike the person, and I was honest when I said I didn't care who read my blog or not, but letting children do it is absolutely something I won't ever support, and blank blogs never were a big deal to me until I saw someone do a weird question in my comments that only could've been done by one so there's when I realized "oh, these could be underage..." and god, the idea of them reading my stuff just... No, it doesn't sit well with me at all 🤢

Thank you baby for supporting me tho 🩷, in the end I guess I also didn't care since I saw that there were other people like you that actually liked what I did so for me that was more than enough to just keep going.

Oh, and I still think you should make your blog but of course it's totally your own decision 😭, you should do what makes you feel comfortable in the end! In my case I started my blog just because I was bored and had done an Anton fic when the power was off in my district (third world country ✨), and then I just kept going??? 😭, I never gave it much thought to what having a blog would involve 💀. I've been a small blog for a long time, before at most I would receive one ask per week and talked to only one person in DMS (I still remember them even if they're not that much in Tumblr anymore). I never thought I would suddenly gain more followers one day? (Not like I have a million, but I appreciate the little I have) and even more I never expected to have met so many good people like my moots and my wife and anons like you that make me happy whenever I see my inbox, I guess I'm focused more on the positive side and that's also why I seem like kind of a pushover when I suggest you to have your blog but that's just me too so 😅👩‍🦯

single dad jack getting a crush on his daughters kindergarten teacher and letting his daughter get her flowers and she goes “Ms. y/n my daddy really likes you” and all the classmates go “eeeewww” 💀

-🌎 anon

It was 2pm and Jack had to pick up his daughter Stella from school being a single father sucked ever since Stella’s mom passed away it’s been hard on the both of them but Jack always did his best everyday to make sure she was okay and happy and he did a damn great job.

Once Jack had gotten to the classroom Stella smiled widely when she saw her dad.

“Daddy ! You’re here.” Stella yelled as Jack chuckled as he went into a squatting position and opening his arms wide for Stella to run in which she did happily every-time.

“Hi my pretty dove how was school today princess ?” Jack said her as he placed her on his side and moved some hair out of her face she had his baby blue eyes and a few freckles placed on her noses like he did.

“It’s was good daddy my teacher wants to talk to you daddy.” Stella said and Jack looked up once he saw you approaching them. He swear he saw an angel when you walked their way you were honestly so beautiful and breathtaking to him.

“Hi Mr. Harlow I just wanted to talk to you for a bit about Stella if that’s okay ?” You asked Jack kindly as he looked at you in awe making Stella roll her eyes and pinch Jack’s cheek making him hiss and glare at her playfully she turned her head to the side as if she did nothing you laughed at their cute little moment.

“Oh uh yes sure absolutely Ms. Y/N.” Jack said smiling his pearly white teeth at you which made you weak in the knees he was everything and more you’ve always had the biggest crush on Jack way before he even was known.

“Well Ms. Stella here has been such a good girl in class she’s been line leader three times this week and she helps all the other students who struggle just a bit she’s a true doll.” You told Jack as you tickled Stella who was hiding behind Jack’s leg. Jack sighed in relief he thought it was something bad but he was glad it wasn’t.

“I’m glad she’s been doing good because at home she’s a little monster isn’t that right my little princess.” Jack teased her and she giggled and holding onto his legs tightly you coo’d at her and stood back up smiling at Jack.

“Well it was nice meeting you Jack I hope to see you tomorrow for the talent show ?” You told Jack he smiled and nodded the school had asked Jack if he could perform and he agreed.

Before school the next day Jack stopped at the store so Stella could give you flowers now Stella might’ve been 6 but she knew when someone had a crush on someone and she knew her father liked you very much so her being the sneaky 6 year told she is had a good idea.

“When we get there give these to Ms. Y/N okay bug and tell her it’s for being a good teacher to you okay.” Jack told Stella who nodded Jack walked with her to the door of her classroom he blushed seeing you standing at the door and greeting students.

“Oh hi Stella what do you got there mhm.” You asked her as you lowered yourself down to her level she giggled running over to you with the flowers.

“My daddy likes you a lot he said these were for you being a good teacher to me but he really had a crush on you.” Stella said as she skipped into the classroom like nothing. Jack was honestly too stunned to speak and you were a blushing mess.

“Well ahh I guess you know now.” Jack tried to laugh it off as he stretched the back of his neck avoiding your eyes and blushing like crazy. You giggled finding it adorable.

“Well the feelings are mutual I guess I gotta get that number later on at the talent show ?” You told Jack he picked his head up immediately and grinned.

“Yeah most definitely Ms. Y/N oh I mean Y/N fuck I mean fuck I’m sorry for saying fuck I shit I’ll just see you later.” Jack said as he rushed down the hallway you giggled watching him avoid from knocking down children you smiled and smelled the flowers again you couldn’t wait to see what would happen.

Hi! I just wanted to say that I finally watched that deleted scene of Michael and Kay prank calling Tom from a hotel and I adored it! I was smiling the whole time and thought that the two were very cute together. Imo that one short scene contained more love/chemistry than the whole Sicily sequence and I wish it was kept in the film. I’ve come to realize how ridiculous the Kay slander really is and how uncomfortable a lot of takes about the film in general have made me. I even saw someone claim that she’s just as bad as the mobsters for getting the abortion 😬. Luckily I found a great article online written in Kay’s defense that I think does a great job summarizing her perspective!

Link: https://nicolesanacore.medium.com/in-defense-of-kay-corleone-87265a2cfb60

Also on the topic of Michael and Kay, I wanted to add that the song Made in the USA by Demi Lovato reminds me of their relationship ^^. Anyway sorry for the long ask and hope you have a good day! 😅

Hiii, sweet anon!! 🥰 Omg yes, that's my favourite since from the first film even if it's technically deleted off of some versions! I love it soooo much! 💖 It's Michael and Kay FOREVER to me. 😭 And I ABSOLUTELY agree with you over the Sicily sequence. In that hotel scene alone we see so much fluff, love, intimacy, the snuggling, Michael smiling at Kay while she's talking to Tom on the phone 😩🥺...!! So many things!

That was one of the first articles I ever read when my hyperfixation for TGF started!! 👀 NOTHING BUT FACTS!

I've been a Kay stan from the moment I watched The Godfather and have always loved her and her character. ❤ She's honestly a very misunderstood and hated character which is so weird to me because the opinions I hear online/on TGF video clips are always misogynistic, hating Kay for standing up for herself/leaving Michael as if Michael's actually a good person...lmao. 💀

I also really wish people would stop comparing Kay and Apollonia all the time; they're literally two different people who played two completely different roles in Michael's lives and impacted him greatly. Sadly with a lot of Kay slander/hate like a good 80% of the time, Kay is hated while Apollonia's praised for being submissive...wishing to give Michael babies, etc, a lot of cringe, disgusting, misogynistic traits some people have been assigning Apollonia like...do you hear yourselves? Yikes. 😬 I also think we can appreciate and analyze both characters without tearing them down (mostly Kay in this case). Kay is also so much more of a developed character in the book too, which I wish we saw in the film because she's almost a completely different person!

Kay is, if anything, one of the most good natured characters in the entire film. From start to finish, she loved Michael and only wanted the best for him and his family, but when he continued to lie to her, put her and her children's life in danger and was all nonchalant about it, you know miss Kay had the right to ask if Michael was a sociopath or what... Michael was SELFISH. 😭 He didn't give a shit about anyone except for himself in TGF1 & Part II.

Kay had all the right to leave Michael's ass imo. I love Michael for so many reasons and he's the blorbo of my blorbos, but I know he's not a good person (nor will I pretend he is lol), the atrocities definitiely make him interesting but he wasn't a great father and not a good husband either. 😩💔 As for the abortion Kay had, tbh I think a vast majority of some people's opinions on it is coming from their own personal opinion of whether they generally support abortion or not. It's always "she killed a baby", it's never considering the context, what happened to her, or anything else, really... Kay is not worse than a mobster for having an abortion. 💀 People just hate strong, independent women like her especially against Michael when Kay wasn't afraid to talk her shit and point out what Michael was doing and who he was becoming.

My bad for the equally long response... 🤣❤ But I love mini discussions like this!! Thank you for your ask! 🥰💖 I'll definitely give that song a listen too!

THEM, THEM, THEM! ❤❤❤
